6,200 hours on record (since 2013) (not included the hours I played outside of steam) and nearly 700€ in investments and I just now amlost fully unlocked German Ground and Air tech tree and almost fully unlocked the Soviet Ground tech tree... without the investment you'd look at at least (AT LEAST) 10k hours just to unlock those three portions out F**KING 45 portions there are. They constantly nerf the rewards (with constant dev posts in the lines of: "We DoN't FoRcE yOu To PaY fOr AnYtHiNg")

They constantly tell you, that there is no issue with 70€ premium buyers (they only buy one premium and once they enter the battle they almost all the time die without a kill, ruing the round for the other half of the team)

Gajub constantlly refuses to admit the favouring of russian tech tree (yeah T-80BVM from side in 90 degrees should be able to make my DM53 with 600+mm pen just dissapear into a thin air 50% of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time, not to mention the Black Hole that is the drivers port on lower soviet BR, just trust me comrade, its ToTaLlY balanced)

They just canonically refuse to add any new gamemodes (good luck enjoying your 60k hour grind, while stuck on 2 different gamemodes playing on TINY F**CKING maps => Top Tier Ground being played on 2x2km maps, what a f**cing joke)

Another constant for them is the refusal to add anything, that woud take just a few hours of implementation (I for one suggested adding bomb targets in to the "Test Drive", so you could determine how many bombs you should drop on your target in Air RB, simple right? Wrong and WRONG again, it just went down the f**cking gutter), so yeah, when they say they "value" player bases opinion, they are just nicely saying that "you and your opinion can kindly go f**k yourself".

Tl,Dr: If you are hoping to enjoy this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of an addicting game, please pull out your wallet, otherwise you are looking at "empty in-game wallet" and nothing to show for it. In the end it'll be always about "you, the player, don't understand anything so just shut up and keep on paying so I can make you suffer some more". If you want a tank game you could enjoy, go ahead and buy "GUNNER HEAT PC".

You've been warned against downloading this game and feeding the Snail.

Edit: After another 1250 hours of this bullcrap I can atest, that Gaijin sh*ts out updates without any testing, the optimalization is just pure unadultred pile of horse sh*t. Don't play this game. It's not worth it.
